Based on the descriptions and events in this excerpt. I can infer that the title character, Cujo, has turned rabid and he is out to look for blood. I can also infer that his eyes are red and watery with thick substance leaking from it. Finally, I can infer that he has already killed his owner because he had mud and blood all over him. This was all stated in paragraphs 10 and 11, "The dog's eyes settled on hers. They were red and rheumy. They were leaking some viscous substance. The dog seemed to be weeping gummy tears. His tawny coat was caked and matted with mud and— Blood. is that..." All of this evidence told me that Cujo is rabid and has already killed his owner.
Donna's actions and thoughts reveal that her character is very clumsy and when she gets frightened she is unable to think and is unaware of what she is doing. In paragraph 13 it states, "She couldn't seem to move. No breath...There was no contact between her brain and her legs...Her hands were stupid blocks of flesh south of her wrists with no feeling in them. Her urine went. She was unaware of it save for some vague sensation of distant warmth." This tells me that when Donna saw the dog, Cujo, she didn't know what to do and just stood there. Also, in paragraph 16 it states, "She turned in a great shambling drunk's pivot, slamming her lower leg against the Pinto's fender and sending a steely bolt of pain up to her hip...She hit her crazybone and uttered a thin shriek of pain." Donna's actions tell me that she
It can take one person to change the way you think about the way you think about yourself. The novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor, is about a boy by the name of Paul Fisher. Paul cannot really stand up for himself, and is a bit reserved. All of the other characters in Tangerine, make choices that contribute to the growth of Paul as a character, whether being positive or negative. These choices made by Luis Cruz, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, and Erik Fisher, all made Paul braver/stronger, and more able to speak his own mind.
On 05/29/16 at 8:00pm, I was dispatched to 2142 Balford Square East on injury-possible dangers or vicious dog and owner surrender. I arrived at the house and spoke to dog owner Delane Murrell Jr. Mr. Murrell stated that his son was standing in the kitchen when their dog came in the house from the back yard and attacked his son. Mr. Murrell wrote out a statement of facts in regards to the incident. Mr. Murrell also stated that he wanted to surrender the dog. I took pictures of the injuries to Qimari Brown. Qimari has puncture wounds to his right thigh and to the right side of back. Mr. Murrell was unable to show proof of dog license. Mr. Murrell was issued violations for failure to license and failure to control a dangerous dog. Mr.
1.) In the twenty-fourth paragraph, after all Donna has been thorough, "she screamed." Donna finally lets loose with this expression of terror, even though she is now relative safe inside the car because she was holding pressure and once she got in her car she probably realized that she could have died. In paragraph 23 it states, "And suddenly it occurred to her that if she had not automatically rolled her window up as she brought the Pinto to a stop...she would now be minus her throat. Her blood would be on the wheel, the dash, the windshield. That one action, so automatic she could not even really remember performing it. She screamed." This tells me that she screamed because she was having a lot of pressure on her when was trying to escape from Cujo and she realized that, that one action saved her life and she could have been dead by now.
Teague kept to the original story of Cujo by including details and important aspects that are instrumental in creating suspense. In the novel, Donna’s son Tad, was not able to unlatch his seatbelt. This was also pictured in the 1983 film. Cujo is a vicious Saint Bernard dog that made everyone fear for their lives and jump out of their seats in the movie as well as the book.
Sandra Cisneros’ use of literary elements, such as voice, repetition, and figurative language, causes the reader to that it takes a long time to grow up.
Point of view is important in any novel. It allows readers to see and understand the events and characters in a novel. Depending on who is speaking, point of view can drive the plot and convey the thoughts of the characters in a story. In the novel, The Brief Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, point of view plays a crucial role in narrating the life of the lonesome outsider, Oscar. The novel is narrated in first person, but Diaz chooses to disclose who the speaker is until later in the book. As the story progresses, there are clues that hint to the reader who the outside source narrating Oscars life is. Diaz uses Yunior to narrate a majority of the novel. This point of view lets the readers understand the Dominican culture through Yunior’s commentary and perspective. It also gives an outside perspective on Oscar which helps build Oscar as a character. Instead of using an omniscient third person or generic first person point of view, Diaz uses multiple characters to narrate the story. This ingenious idea gave the story a more personal and up close look at not only the life of Oscar, but also the lives of his sister, Lola, and his mother, Beli.
Human beings, the dominant race of the world possess both emotions and opinions. That does not mean all the emotions and the opinions of the dominant creature are absolutely right. A human’s attitude of a basic concept can also be wrong due to his nature. As everyone all over the world knows, a mistake made intentionally is the key cause of experiencing guilt. Emotions and hunger, are an individual’s problems, and may combine to be one of those causes. Moreover, guilt can be represented by common consciousness of a big group of people. In other words when these minds, which experience guilt come together, they create a feeling of collective guilt. The director of Caché, Michael Haneke implies throughout his film that this collective guilt is the result of individual guilt.
There cannot be a discussion about borders without also discussing the metaphors that are linked to them. When speaking about the border people know the physical borderlines between countries, but to understand borders one must look pass the physical boundaries. As a society we must be and make ourselves more aware of the cultural identity, language, and community surrounding the Latino American population.

Esperanza matures as she begins to see the difference. She evolves from an insecure girl to a
Produced by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787, Don Giovanni is regarded as one the best operas ever made. The piece is based on the legend of Don Juan, an illusory libertine and seducer of women (Kerns, 2010). At first, Mozart’s opera seems more like a story of the romantic adventures of a dissolute nobleman and his disgrace. However, there is much more to Don Giovanni than just a series of events and serious laughs, just as the protagonist is much more than a notorious, single-minded, and unprincipled seducer. Closer examination of the piece reveals its core themes of social classes and divisions as depicted by Leporello’s complaints about his servitude to his employer in the first scene (Mozart, Fisher, & Ponte, 2007). The play also touches on vital human traits and principles, including loyalty, faithfulness, and sincerity. More importantly, Don Giovanni centers on the ambiguity intrinsic to human relations, the intricate connection between life and death, and the interminable tension between love and the risk of its extermination.
Being a black female in the south during the early 1900’s, at a time when white and blacks were socially segregated and women were absolutely inferior to men, was one of the many challenges Celie would be faced with in her lifetime. Born in 1895, Celie was raised on a farm in a small town in Georgia where formal education took a back seat to physical labor and household maintenance, and the Church was the main focal point of socialization among local town members.

Don Giovanni is an operatic character that plays a womanizer during the 17th century. This was a play first performed in 1789, a successful creation of Mozart and DaPonte. During the play, Don Giovanni represents a sociopath that is lead by his incredible weakness for women. This weakness leads him into darkness, complete with seduction, and murder. Since the beginning, many people have seen Don Giovanni as a hero but many others have considered him a villain. The actions of Don Giovanni are not completely heroic neither are they totally villainous. But is noticeable that throughout the play he is more a hero than a villain.
First, I am going to analyze the dog’s relationship with the man. the man is on his way to meet the boys with his only companion, a wolf dog which represents the bond we have with nature. The dog relies on the man to provide warmth by fire and the man needs the dog for his instincts. I believe the that since it is a wolf dog it has both traits as a wild wolf and a domesticated dog. It is like a gateway between humanity and nature which allows us to be a part of it. The dog never left the man’s side because he needed him. The man however, the attempted to kill the dog to spare his life. The man also sent the dog across the lake knowing that the dog’s instincts could get him across. The man heavily relied on the dog for his survival and was willing to sacrifice him for the man’s
